> We hotly debated namespaces when designing the API and in the end decided to omit them but require at least one dash. You can think of the prefix kind of like the namespace in that sense.

Ah. I feel like the demos and examples that I've seen never have the first word as the pseudo-namespace so I had no idea that was the intention.
I hate that attitude. I found a bug, fixed it, offered back to the company and they said "Don't worry, we'll find it ourselves eventually." Er, OK?
Nintendo reinvigorated my love for their games since playing Super Mario Maker on Wii U, so much so that I bought a Switch when they released Super Mario Maker 2. Only to be infuriated with the decision to put half of the game behind their paid Nintendo Online service.

One thing to add a paid service to a game but to put features that were in the original game behind the service as well is not OK with me. Very similar to split screen multiplayer mode lacking in games these days. Now, if you want to play with a friend, well you need internet, you need another console, you need another game and you are more than likely not even playing in the same house let alone same room.
They don't "last for a long time". I have an ipad that is barely five years old and no longer receives OS updates. You can't even install apps on it (like Netflix, or Youtube) because the OS is "unsupported."

Apple is running a HaaS (Hardware as-a Service) and your subscription is somewhere between two to three years.
Oh wow I re-read my comment 5 times and never noticed. I also have 3 cats, those are great (:
Agreed. I'd definitely make the same arguments here as I would for an Audi. There's clearly a market, and that means they're not a bad value for a certain type of person.
The entire article was like 100X what anyone deserves. It was an awesome amount of detail. I absolutely love when random lost pieces of hardware/software history end up right where they belong with exactly the right person to know what to do with them.
Hexameter just means that the lines have six feet. What counts as a foot in a language will differ, e.g. English feet are based on stress, whereas Ancient Greek feet are based on length. For example, in Ancient Greek, an iamb would be a short syllable followed by a long one (e.g. 'Δάφνη' - Daphne, which in A.G. was pronounced something like 'daph-neh', with the 'neh' held long), whereas in English it's an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one (e.g. 'become').

Then putting only 256gb into their cheaper devices is really bad move. Even simple models like Whisper require hundreds of megabytes of storage.
They also charge a lot more for these "business-class" machines. That higher margin captures the revenue lost to DIY repairs and upgrades.
I spent about a decade before switching using Linux as my main :-) Mostly Gentoo and Ubuntu (man, it was good in the first few releases)

Got a job in dual-platform mobile dev and was issued a MacBook. Exposure to dozens of phones and tablets from both ecosystem. I was converted within a year.

(I barely customize anything these days, fwiw—hit the toggle for “caps as an extra ctrl”, brew install spectacle, done. Used to have opinions about my graphical login manager, use custom icon sets, all that stuff)
As adult people get sucked into reading forum posts or twitter. And it's often very addictive since you feel you're getting closer to some truth being revealed, or your views/opinion being validated.
Better use of time might be to read books, but then there's nothing to suck you in the way online networks do with some headline.
Maybe books should have AI post about them the way of news articles, with some catchy headline, that would get people to start reading them.

As a kid I loved mysteries, and revenge books like "The Count of Monte Cristo", that were recommended. But as an adult I don't know what I don't know. And there's nothing to get me to start reading something.

Lol. This is such weak sauce.

Ukraine is partly occupied by a much bigger country and you're talking about SUVs. At this stage zelensky could be a literal nazi and noone would care.

Nothing inflames people like injustice.
No. The headline is truthful. I subscribed to SA for 50+ years, saving old copies. About 15 years ago I got sick of the bias and threw out all the old issues. It ceased being science, instead it had become propaganda.
GNU Guix does an awesome job with this. The documentation is one of the main reasons I left NixOS, and then some time later I landed on Guix. I have stuck on the latter for a few years now.
no, no, NO and yes.

I actually rejected a job offer when heard I will be given a macbook pro.

Apple, been the most closed company these days, should be avoided as much as you can, not to mention its macos is useless for linux developers like me, anything else is better.

its keyboard is dumb to me(that stupid command/ctrl key difference), can not even mouse-select and paste is enough for me to avoid Macos at all costs.

Twenty years ago, in a small college town, my car was broken into and the stereo stolen. I called the police out and the cop said, “okay, what do you want me to do about it?”

Well, I don’t know. What should be done about this? I guess I thought my report might be tabulated, that perhaps a pawn shop or two might be called. My wife and I were living financial-aid-reimbursement-check to MGIB check to work-study check at the time. We got the one of the cheapest car stereos we could find, but it still hurt. We had just gotten it installed literally that day, and the next morning it was gone.

I’m sorry to have wasted your time, officer. There’s probably a kid with a one-hitter that you could arrest on your way back to the station.

Twitter is not great example because revenue collapsed while rest of the industry revenue is up 20% and Meta revenue is up 35%. Besides his personal antics, he fired a lot of sales, safety/trust and support people. He also did it in very public way which worried brands a lot. It’s unclear what contributed the most but final result is not great.

Very few people work on weekend which tells you you need way less people to keep lights on - so keeping lights on with 20% of eng is not surprising.
You poke fun at it, but great irony is that a lot of knowledgeable coffee people started poking at all the techniques recently and we've learned that almost everything towards the showy complicated side of it are completely not worth thinking about or will have worse results. Osmotic pouring looks neat but will underextract anything that isn't dark. 4:6 is still questionable over most simpler 1-2 pour techniques. That showy thing of raising the kettle up and down a lot also will underextract.

> Could we come up with novel things to do with this deep interior space?

Yes, the wealthy can have apartments with windows around the outer parameter and the poor can live in the center with no natural sunlight.
> When we say a place is "the safest," we're referring to the absolute level of safety.

Idk who you think "we" is. It's not in my definition of safety, nor probably the general populace to think of Stockton, California as "safer" than NYC, just because Stockton had 50 murders a year compared to NYC's 240... Because Stockton has a 17.77 murder rate per 100k, and NYC 3 per 100k. You bet your ass you'd be "safer", as in less likely to get shot or stabbed to death, living in NYC.
> That should alleviate the problem somewhat.

This comment comes across as being from someone who has never paid attention to Apple’s business tactics. No offence.

Maybe I’m on the opposite end and too cynical, but I don’t think we know a) whether Apple will practice malicious compliance in a way that makes the ruling meaningless or b) whether they will comply at all.

And if they do comply in any way, we don’t know how long they will keep it that way before clawing back little by little or simply ending that compliance.
The idea of "free beer" is if I'm giving away free beer at my establishment during an event, there are restrictions around that free beer. I'm not gonna fill up a tanker truck for you, I'm gonna kick you out if you start trying to resell it, I'm gonna cut you off it you've had too much, you can't get any if you're under age, etc, etc, etc.

It's free, but you can't do anything you want with it. Really it's free to drink on my terms - and that's certainly "free", but it's not "freedom" (as in free speech).

That's only part of the issue though. The other issue is that inflation is going up from everything going on in Europe (Ukraine/Russia) and Middle East (Israel/Suez Canal pirates/blocks) and then after the great financial recession many of the blue collar workers who were part of the home building industry changed careers, cities/states have increased housing zoning laws and requirements, and inflation on materials has made building a home more expensive. All these factors are pushing prices up.

In the UK crime statistics are collected from a survey of people's experiences of crime that's completely independent from police/arrest records. Does the US not do this?
Thanks, the extra context is helpful, though if anything it contradicts the assertion that American traffic planners are personally incompetent and the cause of the unsafe conditions for pedestrians (given that they're set up to fail)

Golden might be an exception though, I do remember seeing a lot of egregious issues back when I lived there.

To continue your analogy, without additional context your message, at least to my reading, devolved a bit into "just stop killing people, easy!" as a solution to ethnic cleansing.
Old warehouses were built very differently compared to modern office buildings. Specifically, office buildings are made to the load requirements of office spaces, with their symbolic walls and furniture. You may have trouble putting even bathtub into an apartment converted from an office.

Kind of interesting.

I have the Jura Giga 5 and I would say it produces coffee which is better than I can get in any chain store, and, better than the average specialty shop as well. Obviously there are some specialty shops which produce excellent coffee which is better than the Jura, but, not by a massive margin. Interesting that you find the A1 to be much poorer in quality, or my pallet just sucks. Either way I fully agree with you that having "push button, make coffee" is fantastic, I don't want to fiddle with scales and worrying about blooming my coffee grounds for 14 seconds at 92c before brewing with water at 90c. Push button. Make good coffee.

The other "maintenance" item I've noted after having this machine for >10 years is that every 5 years or so it breaks and I have to send it back to Jura.

Their warranty service is a flat-rate $500 and they either repair yours or send you a refurb unit, for something which I spent almost 5k on, I'm very happy that they seem to have the option to basically keep the Jura working forever if I want.

The Giga 5 prefers to listen to the Spotify "upbeat pop music" playlist when I run the cleaning cycle FYI.

I agree with your general points and I don't know what worked in Japan would work in the USA. I'm pretty confident what works in Europe will probably not work in the USA either though :(

> That means facilities are spotless

I can assure you no stations are remotely spotless. In fact I'm surprised some of them aren't considered fire hazards. Ueno, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Shinagawa, Akihabara, all have extremely messy areas. Newer stations appear clean but that's only because they're new AFAICT. Just commenting because I don't want people to ge the wrong impression. They might be cleaner than SF, NYC, Paris on average but they're not as clean as Stockholm or Singapore
Thank you for your answer. It makes sense in a historical context.

But then, all languages since Objective-C seem to agree that namespacing is a good idea. There's no debate there. Even JavaScript has modules now. So I can't help but wonder what makes web components unique in this regard.
Top comment. How good is your service if you can't dog food it.
I suppose you like bloatware and ads in your taskbar and 49 years of patch Tuesday. Have fun with that. I’ll take Mac over any windows.
Of course there is, however murder is the best simple proxy because it's the most severe and least likely to be disputed that it's fudged. So it stands in well for quick internet comments. When you get into a multi-pronged analysis of 5+ crime metrics, and how you factor each into "safety" and what metric and places go more underreported, etc. well, you have yourself a research paper...
It's funny, I've been writing for years that the CRE market is terminally doomed and we might as well turn the skyscrapers into affordable public housing. Refreshing to see this reality leaking into the public consciousness.

The exact same number of times I've been asked that during an interview: 0!

I do ask tree traversal questions when interviewing because I've had to traverse a lot of trees so I think being able to do an in order traversal of an already sorted binary tree (which is only a handful of lines of code) is fair game.

Okay this is a totally wild and hilarious coincidence, but I came home tonight and told my wife about this thread. Turns out that, today of all days, without knowing I was ranting about cold brew on HN, she did a careful home experiment with her coffee using baking soda, so I can report on what she found. She has suffered me complaining about fake cold brew and rude baristas before, but it’s been months since we discussed it. We do have some pH test strips sitting around from my investigations into different brewing methods, and she used 4 of them doing this experiment twice.

For each experiment, she made 2 cups of coffee, using 1 scoop of grounds (0.25 oz) to make a pour-over with 8 oz water heated to 200 degrees Fahrenheit for each cup. In one of them she added 1/16th teaspoon (which is a tiny pinch) of baking soda to the grounds before pouring the water over them. In the other cup, it was only grounds with no baking soda. She said she could see the water foaming in the cup with baking soda. She reported that there was no noticeable negative flavors at all, no hint of baking soda taste, the coffee made with baking soda was as good as the control, perhaps slightly better because it was less acidic. For the pH measurement, she measured a pH of 6 for the normal coffee and a pH of 8 for the baking soda added cup — it actually made the coffee slightly alkaline! PH of 6 sounds like a pretty weak coffee, I was usually getting a pH of 5 IIRC. PH strips are a pretty blunt measure and don’t give you fractional pH values, but she showed me the strips and I can confirm her conclusion. The 2nd experiment was the same setup, and the result was identical.

When I read your comment earlier, I thought it was a good question, but assumed baking soda would change the flavor negatively. I’m surprised to hear that it totally works, so I think you have a good idea. I might even consider making this my routine if it works that well. Now I’m curious if you can sprinkle in a tiny pinch of baking soda into an already brewed coffee and reduce acidity without damaging flavor…
How do you know it actually flagged the comment for review? Does that functionality actually exist?

A bit of a disingenious argument intended to sell this as being more revolutionary than it really is --- BGA sockets already exist for LPDDR as well as other things like CPUs/SoCs, but they're very expensive due to low volumes. If the volume went up, they'd go down in price significantly just like LGA sockets for CPUs have.

The optimization mentioned in this article is to literally use memcpy for certain types. As you mention, the code is from 2005, so the options are memcpy (when applicable) or a full copy constructor. The article discusses some old-school techniques that Qt uses to determine memcpy may be used.

arc support may exist but be poor. For example, I recently read prusa's documentation, which states "[G2 and G3 controlled arc move] commands don't propperly work with MBL enabled. The compensation only happens at the end of the move, so avoid long arcs." MBL is mesh bed leveling, an important technology that helps compensate for imperfections in the flatness of the print surface.
